Shop Atmosphere

“Sahir is a rakshasa who adopted a merciful, anti-evil persona after a cataclysmic bargain; he speaks with honeyed Persian-accented Common and insists on smelling a customer's hands before selling anti-evil reagents. He will sell to anyone who seems likely to oppose true evil but refuses to knowingly arm blatant villains. The shop smells of sandalwood and ozone; wards inked across the ceiling pulse faintly at night. Sahir occasionally offers free advice, but each 'favor' he performs may later require a story or promise in return — never outright coin. Despite being a fiend, he detests infernal cults and will give modest discounts to characters who show evidence of having opposed such cults (roleplay encouraged).”
